Elementary & mIDDLE sCHOOL Optimistic oUTCOMES

Wisconsin Lutheran High School Studio Art Program is grateful for any art education that students have received before getting into our building. We have come up with a growing list of VOCAB and CONCEPTS that would be beneficial for students to have experience with. This could be with projects and assignments that would build students creative foundation as they look to live a creative life.
